Bridging the security mechanisms

In earlier versions of Enterprise Security, you had to explicitly map EAServer roles to Enterprise Security roles, but beginning with Enterprise Security 6.0, mapping can be done automatically. You can still map roles explicitly if you choose. If you create new J2EE roles, explicitly mapping the J2EE roles to Enterprise Security roles requires:

Mapping J2EE roles to EAServer roles
Mapping EAServer roles to Enterprise Security roles

Roles not found warnings Although you need not explicitly map J2EE roles to EAServer roles or Enterprise Security roles, “roles not found” warnings are written in the server’s log file if you do not. You can safely ignore these warnings, or you can eliminate them by explicitly mapping the roles.
